Chapter ten: Let's watch a movie!

Almost four weeks after Neil hd been let out of the ICU the William's sisters had all been sitting on Neil's bed giggling and having tickle fights with one another...save for Neil who wasn't aloud to move all that much. The surgery went great after he was hurt and everything had been going smoothly. His cast on his legs had been signed by everyone and anyone that made contact with the young ranch hand. Inaome had signed his left leg as big as she could without going over anyone else signature and had drawn a big horse with the words 'Get better Farmer Boy cause I'm not doing your share of work' and every time he looked at it he could help but laugh a little bit. Neil's hair had been messed up for the last few weeks, his face had fading bruises on it (even the one on his nose he had gotten a few week ago had disappeared) and yet he looked like they had never been in the accident just by how he talked and the way he just glowed some days. Inaome hadn't left the hospital since they had gotten there, Kasumi brought everything she needed clothes, shampoo and soap, and occasionally some real home cooking. Tomorrow was the day Neil was supposed to go home and what a happy day it would be after being stuck in the dismal hospital for almost a month. The only things that hadn't fully healed were his legs, left arm and hand but everything else had healed without much of a hassle at all. His lung was the worst though seeing is that he needed to do breathing exercises that hurt at first with his ribs and all but after a while he had fully recovered with lung in tacked. Jada smiled as she sat with Lacey in her lap. Ashlin and Jennifer stood near the door laughing at little inside jokes that the two sixteen year olds had. Jamie, Sam and baby Eva sat around Neil on his bed giggling and playing rock-paper-scissors happily as Eva won every round. Just as the girls had started another tickle fight Inaome walked in after taking a shower. Her hair was still wet but you could let she had brushed through it "Come on guys visiting time is over" Inaome announced

A lot of groans and a few words that should have been spoken filled the small room as they filled out. Jada gave Inaome a hug as she left with Eva in her arms "See you tomorrow" Inaome smiled as she left the room.

The doctors had let Jada, Inaome and Kasumi stay at the hospital but Jada had to take care of the other kids and Kasumi had to keep on top of the ranch work and Souta's wife who was due very soon, so Inaome had stayed at the hospital with Neil. "Looks like your going to have a lot of work once you get home" Inaome laughed as she dragged her hand over Neil's second place trophy Kasumi had brought the day after his surgery.

"Yeah" he smiled as Inaome sat down on the bed beside him.

He could feel small wet droplets fall off on Inaome's hair fall onto his arm, it cooled his skin. Inaome giggled and shook her head more spraying the extra water all over his face. "Hey come on now that's not funny" Neil shielded his face with his good hand.

"Oh but it was" she smiled as he wiped the water off with his blanket "And well someone is also having a bad hair day"

Neil ran and hand over his head to try and flatten down his messy hair but only a few seconds after it just fluffed back up into a huge mess as if it had never been touched. Inaome laughed loudly and picked up a small brush in the washroom "sit up" she said to him

"Why?" he said puzzled if she was going to either molest him or torture him with a hair brush

"I'm not going to molest you" whoa...mind-reader! "I'm going to fix your hair"

"Fine" he signed not used to having someone brush his hair other than himself

He slowly leaned forward gritting his teeth. Inaome quickly slipped behind him and sat so he could lean back onto her for less pain. Neil felt the bristles brush against his scalp and actually it felt good "when was the last time you brushed this thing?" Inaome laughed

"Well since I'm not aloud in water...about...four weeks"

"EWW!!" Inaome yelled trying to pry herself away from him

Neil leaned back more putting pinning her between him and the bed "No you finish what you started"

Inaome stopped struggling and sighed "You know I'm never going to touch your hair again" she put the brush through it once more pulling out a few tangles

"Oh you love it" he waited till she let the brush fall from his hair then rubbed his head in her face

Inaome squealed and pushed his head away "That's gross don't do that!"

Neil chuckled and let her finish feeling his eyes become heavier and heavier and soon he closed his green-yellow eyes and softly breathed as he slept. Looking down Inaome smiled at his peaceful face as he slept, his head on her stomach with his newly brushed -yet very unclean- hair. Her legs on either side of him made her feel comfortable as she ran her hand through is hair in her half asleep daze defiantly forgetting how nasty it was. Inaome closed her golden eyes before she herd the nurse come in and place Neil's dinner on the table beside them. Slowly the girl fell asleep not even getting anything ready for her friends departure from the hospital tomorrow...just fell asleep.

Small giggles awoke Inaome from her sleep and once Inaome slowly opened her eyes three pairs of small eyes stared at her "G'morning sleepy head" Jamie giggled

Inaome yawned and looked around the room "morning...what time is it?"

Ashlin who was sitting on the opposite side of the room looked at her wrist watch "around eleven"

"Oh crap" Inaome jumped up "I forgot to get Neil's things ready!"

Just as she was searching for the duffle bag, Jada wheeling in a smiling Neil spoke "Good morning sleeping head" Neil laughed seeing Inaome up out of bed and ripping through the closet.

"Hey that's what I said" Jamie smiled as she slid off the bed and stood beside Jada

Once Inaome stopped she realized that her hair was all messed up and the back of her shirt was all wet from last night "When did you get up?" she asked running her fingers through her hair to try and make it look a little presentable

"About...ohhh...say...an hour ago but we left you here to sleep" he chuckled "Well hurry up and get ready cause the bus is leavin' and we ain't stopping for slow-pokes right guys?" he laughed as the girls burst out in 'yeah's and hurry up's.

Inaome rolled her eyes she was going to be stuck with him for a few months...oh god no!

A month had moved so quickly for the family. Neil had gotten his arm, hand and one leg cast off and was doing physical

therapy with some of the hospital workers. Neil had temporally moved into the Higurashi shrine since the older ones where afraid he would hurt himself around the little ones. Switching rooms was easy, it was the finding every piece of Inaome's clothing under everything was the hard part. In the short amount of time she was there, Inaome had managed to make her floor her new dresser. EVERYTHING, was spread out over the floor. "This sucks I can't even get the orange note" Neil sighed as he sat on the couch

"Oh come on your getting it, plus the doctor said it was good for your hand" Inaome plopped down beside him "Now let's go you pick the next one"

'Guitar Hero 3' had been the only entertainment for the past week. Doctors at the hospital said they had started using it for patience doing PT with their hands. It's hard to say but Neil was kinda horrible at it and Inaone had quickly picked it up as if it was second nature to her. "Fine...let's do..." he searched the song list "hmm...Through the Fire and Flames"

"Are you sure...It's kinda the hardest song in the game" Inaome warned

Neil looked over at her "maybe we won't do that yet...how about...Sabotage"

"Alright" she turned the song on.

Now it might have been that they had both picked 'Expert' level, or that the song was just hard but half way through the song, right before the solo, A lighting bolt of pain shot up through Neil's hand and made it cease up in pain. He hissed in pain and let go of the guitar letting it slide off his lap and hit the ground. Inaome instantly figured out what was wrong and slowly grabbed his hand and massaged it. His face twisted in pain them melted back as soon as Inaome had massaged it after a while. "Thanks" he whispered his hand still in both of hers

She smiled "your welcome" then clicked off the game "I think that enough for the day"

"yeah" he found it hard to breath with his hand still in hers "Let's watch a movie"

"Okay" she slid off the couch letting go of Neil and popping in one of the movies on top of the TV.

He laughed when he saw the opening credits "I love this movie, How did you know Ina!?" he said in a girl voice

"Well you know I'm physic right" she laughed sitting down beside him "and I know what your thinking"

He chuckled thinking 'only if you knew' then saying "Okay try me"

"you're thinking of shutting up so we can watch the movie" she laughed and stood "and while the ten minuet starting scene is happening I'm going to make popcorn"

"Wow right now the penny" he smiled and watched her walk into the kitchen

"Who says that anymore!" she popped the popcorn bag into the microwave

The movie started "apparently me"

"Oh shut up and watch the movie" she leaned on the counter.

A few months ago she would have shown of her cleavage to anyone who would look but since her stay at the ranch her wardrobe changed from high fashion semi-skank, to tank tops, jeans, t-shirt, and sometimes baggy hoddies. This night was one of the warmest, weird for being the middle of October. Dawning a black tank top and a pair of gray sweat pants she made her way back with a bowl of hot popcorn she sat back down beside Neil. His leg had been propped up with the foot stool and a few pillows "how's your leg doing?"

"Its itchy!" he gowned

she giggled and patted his chest "well go get you a flexible ruler tomorrow, it's like the best thing ever to get in there"

"how do you know?" he questioned

"when I was like...seven I decided that my bed became a trampoline and broke my arm when I fell off" she crunched on a piece of popcorn "now shhh I want to watch this"

Kasumi had gone over to the William's ranch to take help with the small kids, and had left Inaone and Neil alone. Neil slowly picked pieces out of the bowl and he watched the movie. The woman in the movie hid in the back room of her house as the killer guy chopped down her door with an axe. Inaome grabbed onto Neil's arm like it was just a reaction to the movie. Almost mesmerize by the movie he didn't even realize that the kitchen door had opened and someone...or something had moved silently into their area. The shadow sneaked behind the couch and as the girl in the movie was just about to get caught, the shadow jumped up and shrieked loudly. The two on the couch jumped and grabbed each other for safety, letting the popcorn fly out of the bowl and land all around them, even on the shadow. Neil's soon realized who it was "Jada you loser! What was that!?"

Jada broke out in laughter and almost collapsed on the floor "Oh my god you should have seen your faces. You where like AHHH and she was like OH SHIT!!!! HAHAHAHA that was hilarious"

Inaome let out the breath she had been holding and tossed some popcorn at her "that wasn't funny I almost peed myself"

The siblings looked at each other and both in unison laughed "ewwww"

"Oh shut up" Inaome got off the couch

Jada smiled "I just came over here to give you some supper, Kasumi sent it over since she wouldn't be back till tomorrow and both of you are unless cooks"

"Am not" Neil pouted like a child

A large plastic container sat on the counter, the clear walls of the container fogged over from the hot food inside. They all had a small conversation before Jada left and Neil and Inaone ate the food. The two didn't bother to finish the movie just went into their separate rooms and tired to fall asleep. Inaome laid in her bed staring up at the white ceiling unable to give into rest. She sat up, sighed then pulled the blankets off her. She tip-toed into across the hall and pushed the door open "Neil?" she whispered "are you awake?"

A few seconds of silence was shared in the darkness then a whisper came back "yeah"

she padded over to his bed and sat on the edge "Did I wake you?"

"No I just can't sleep" He scratched his head in the darkness

The only light that entered the room was the moonlight through the window "Me either"

"My hand hurts too" he chuckled "to much guitar hero is bad for you"

"now whoever said that?" she pulled his hand into hers and slowly massaged it "I think you just don't like me winning"

He laughed "Once I can play a full song I will be you"

"Big words from someone who get scared from his little sister" she giggled

"Hey you where scared to" he defended

Inaome dropped his hand "whatever"

Neil whimpered "don't stop it make it not hurt"

She picked up his hand again "you sound like a little kid"

"yeah a little kid that could beat you at guitar hero" he laughed

"Not this again" she yawned and laid down beside him still massaging his hand

About an hour later the two where half asleep and Inaome had snuggled up to Neil and had dropped his hand unknowingly on her waist. If anyone had walked in that would probably be embarrassing...little did they know Kasumi didn't stay the night at the William's ranch

Lee: okay so its been a while BUT I have been under a lot a pressure with the end of the semester its been hectic

Neil: yeah three projects, a cheat sheet to do and a math exam that's a lot

Lee: finally someone who understands, and that math exam was brutal and everyone know how much I hate math
